  • the ADP receptors P2Yi and P2YI 2 play a critical role in platelet activation and aggregation (Andre P et al. (2003) J Clin Invest 112:398-406). Inhibition of the P2YI 2 receptor is a validated concept for prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) as demonstrated by the thienopyridines ticlopidine, clopidogrel and prasugrel (Franchi F et al. (2015) Nat Rev Cardiol 12:30-47). These drugs following metabolic activation irreversibly block the P2YI 2 receptor and platelet function (Antman EM et al.

  • Fig. 1 shows the SEM images of an area of the inner part of the glass barrel that was in contact with the boric acid formulation.
  • Fig. 2 shows the SEM images of an area of the inner part of the glass barrel that was not in contact with the boric acid formulation.
  • test samples were prepared by filling 0.54 mL of the above solution into prefillable 1 mL glass syringes with stacked in needle and stored under the conditions given in table 14 and 15. The samples were analysed after the given timepoints by ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) using the following conditions:
  • Reference standard solution 0.32 mg/mL of COMPOUND reference standard in diluent.
  • Sample solution The samples were diluted to 0.32 mg/mL of COMPOUND (based on amount of COMPOUND in the initial solution) with diluent Column: 100mm x 3.0 mm, 3 pm C18 column (e.g. YMC Triart C18 ExRS) Detection wavelength: 246 nm Flow rate: 0.5 mL/min Gradient: Table 14: Amount of COMOUND in the test samples after storage for up to 12 months under the given conditions
